The market is segmented based on products, models, applications,
delivery modes, components, and provider entity capacity. Based on products,
the CDSS market is further segmented into integrated and standalone CDSS
solutions. Of all the integrated solutions (EHR-CDSS, EHR-CDSS-CPOE, and
CDSS-CPOE), EHR-CDSS-CPOE will be the fastest-growing market in the next five
years. Factors accelerating the growth of this market are the presence of
government initiatives to promote clinical IT solutions such as EHR, CDSS, and
CPOE; growing pressure to curtail healthcare costs; and rising demand for quality
care. Integrated CDSS solutions also help in reducing the incidences of
medication errors and facilitate the easier integration of clinical data
repositories with workflow systems.

Based on applications, the CDSS market is segmented into drug allergy
alerts, drug reminders, drug-drug interactions, clinical guidelines, clinical
reminders, drug dosing support, and others. Drug allergy alerts accounted for
the largest share of the global CDSS market in 2013. On the other hand,
clinical reminders are expected to witness the highest growth at an estimated
double-digit CAGR from 2013 to 2018. Various benefits while implementing this
system, such as just-in-time alerts, prompt recommendation at the
point-of-care, and improvements in quality care at low costs, will spur the
market growth.

The three most important delivery modes considered for the study are
web-based, on-premises, and cloud computing. Owing to the growing need to meet
the requirement of enhanced security and accessibility, the cloud computing
mode of delivery is expected to grow at a brisk pace in the forecast period
(2013–2018). Furthermore, cloud computing also reduces the burden on healthcare
systems, as the need for an IT staff is eliminated.

Geographic analysis reveals that North America was the largest
contributor to the global clinical decision support system market in 2013 and
will also be the fastest growing region for CDSS till 2018. Factors driving the
North American market are the growing demands for integrated CDSS solution with
EHR and CPOE, firm support from the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ), growth in aging population, growing healthcare cost, and growth
in patient consumerism for quality care.

Globally, the CDSS market will be driven by the growing pressure to
reduce healthcare costs, growing patient consumerism for quality care, rising
demand for analytical solutions, and government initiatives that promote the
adoption of CDSS. The major bottlenecks for this market are the growing
concerns over security, interoperability, integration challenges, costs
incurred while integrating, problems in implementing CDSS solutions, alert
fatigue, incomplete or poor quality of data entry, poor IT skills among staff,
and poor financial support from governments in certain countries in Europe and Asia.
Cloud computing models offer huge growth opportunities for CDSS vendors,
globally. Also, large sized hospitals (>300 bed size) will be potential
growth segments for CDSS companies in the coming years.
